REAL WORLD RESULTS

“All the MMA Institute instructors are very knowledgeable and always willing to help. Thanks to the combination of the classes I participate in, I was able to finish my first 10K in 57 minutes.”– Phil Evans, Richmond, VA

“I’ve lost weight, improved my strength and endurance and improved the flexibility in my bad knee. Some people thought I was crazy to train with this intensity at age 50 but it’s the best thing I’ve ever done. The staff couldn’t be nicer and everyone is focused on improving and being a good partner and on top of all that the relatively new sport of Brazillian Jiu Jitsu is endlessly complex and fascinating.”– Ward Good, Richmond, VA

“Every time you enter MMA Institute you will push yourself past all your possible expectations. The instructors and more advanced students are more than willing to help guide you on the path you have chosen. If you are a beginner, leave your ego at the door and choose to learn. The competition will come later. You will never forget your experience at MMA Institute.”– Dr. Mason Sheehan, Richmond, VA

“I want to thank Rick McCoy and everyone working at MMA Institute for helping my brother and I lose weight and improve our health”– Todd and Scott Slaughter (lost over 100lbs each)
